Better category for leisure=horse_riding

[Hufkratzer]

I have learned about your maps for Garmin devices from the last weeklyOSM newsletter. I am not a Garmin user.

In taginfo the tag leisure=horse_riding currently shows up like this:

But the tag is for riding centres / equestrian centres; some examples: Bremar Riding Centre and Buckstone Equestrian. It has nothing to to with shopping and category "Shopping" is probably not appropriate. Looking at legend_mkgmap, "Recreation" seems to be the most appropriate category. It may possibly best have its own subcategory/submenu (like leisure=golf_course, leisure=bowling_alley or leisure=ice_rink have).

Note that riding centres often contain (one or more) riding arenas which in OSM are usually tagged leisure=pitch + sport=equestrian (although in some areas of England, especially on the Isle of Wight and around Manchester, in the past some heavy mappers have also tagged riding arenas as riding centres).

The available items on the recreation menu are:

Recreation Menu
Golf Course                     0x2d05
Skiing Center or Reso           0x2d06
Bowling Center              0x2d07
Ice Skating                     0x2d08
Swimming Pool               0x2d09
Sports or Fitness Cen           0x2d0a
Public Sport Airport            0x2d0b
Amusement Park or T         0x2c01
Park or Garden              0x2c06
Arena or Track              0x2c08

Of those, the first 5 and "Public Sport Airport" are pretty sport-specific. The "tree" icon for "Park or Garden" clutters the display so its use is already rationed to named items, and "Arena or Track" is used as a dumping ground for all sorts of stuff. That leaves "Sports or Fitness Cen", which might work - I'll have a look at it.

Actually, "Specialty Retail" is used for lots of "not really shops" and probably needs to be extended to include some of the other currently non-searchable items (more offices, for example).
